About

Backpacker Challenge allows our streamers, party players, and lone wolves to play by a simple set of predetermined rules. It is a very small modlet that limits player crafting to only the recipes we can create on our persons/backpacks. The Chemistry Table, regular Workbench, Forge, and Cement Mixer have been stripped of all of their recipes. However, there is a Backpacker Workbench without any of the 'advanced recipes' than can be acquired from the trader. It only allows player crafting items, but will provide that additional crafting workstation when required. Other Workstations are still given as Quest rewards or can purchased through the trader inventory, but serve no real use beyond salvaging or selling.
      
RULES:
- Crafting restricted to backpack and campfire recipes only which includes crafting a Backpacker Workbench
- Purchase, loot, or accept rewards for more advanced gear
- Sell or salvage the Chemistry Table, Cement Mixer, and Forge if you acquire one, unless you need an oversized paperweight

This style of challenge has been around throughout the Alphas in different guises forever. 'No Crafting' type challenges can be incredibly purist, or add token gesture exceptions. The Backpack Challenge is more forgiving with what it offers, but the rules are fixed and set, simply because of how the mod has stripped down the recipes.

Here are a few images to demonstrate:

Load into your World and receive an updated Starter message with a few custom details related to the Backpacker Challenge.

Your player crafting items list is as expected.

The Backpacker Workbench uses a less 'functional' in game model for context.

Recipes are based on the player crafting items, but it can allow simultaneous crafting where required.

The Forge can..... keep you warm, I suppose.

Chemistry Station

Cement Mixer

You may be surprised actually how much you have access to from player crafting and the campfire. All the best if you accept this relatively mellow restricted crafting challenge.

Here is a small update for the Backpacker Challenge:

1. The Backpacker Workbench can be crafted on the player as per default for three reasons:

- Appearances in the Trader Inventory is low and gets lower as Game Stage progresses due to competition.

- POIs no longer add working workstations as they did in earlier Alpha builds,

- It can only craft Backpack recipe items and is simply a multitask addition. A glorified preparation table.

Unlock at Crafting Skill 10 as per default with the 'Forge Ahead' magazines.

Here is a further small update for Localisation features:

- Localisation for crafting skill tier unlock, journal, and German translation.

A simple unlock immersion feature for naming.

And the associated Journal, with a German translation, not that many read Journal entries...
